This can be a great lens. On an MFT camera it becomes a 150-300mm.
But chose carefully as, like lots of old zooms this particular Olympus model is notorious for separation of the lens elements
The main problem is usually in the rear group.
The main effect of separation is to create an air/glass surface between elements where they were originally cemented together. This is visible from the front of the lens as a bright reflection, especially in coated lenses where the coating suppresses reflections on all of the other air/glass surfaces.
The main image effect of separation is due to the reflection, which reduces contrast and increases flare in the image, essentially negating the effect of some of the antireflection coating on the lens.
Simple lens designs - such as most fixed "prime" telephotos of the same era are much less likly to have cemented compound lenses - and so age better. Needless to say - there is no home "fix" for separating lens elements. Trying to fix them usually makes it much worse. If there is a little separation at the lens edge - then it may not have a great effect on quality - but in time it is likely to spread.Read full review

excellent zuiko lens no sloppy drop in the zoom. I would rate these second only to Nikon AIS lenses but much cheaper. god to find a fully working one, fast diaphragm release and a zoom that doesn't drop by itself due to wear. great.
